12. so whats different about you? you look different but i cant see whats the difference. issit the hair?
ok yes. the hair is different. cut fringe. short hair. much shorter than usual. but thats not the thing which is different. its my jaw.
13. huh? so what about your jaw? got diff meh? (or mayb even.. u look diff meh? u look the same to me what.)
erm... in case u haven noticed... i do look diff. coz i went for a jaw surgery to correct my bite / jaw alignment. my lower jaw was actually longer... n then so i went for a op to correct it... n now my jaw is normal like urs.. where the upper is longer than the bottom which is correct.
14. huh... sounds complicated. so what did the doc do?
to cut the whole story short n make things less scary sounding.. basically.. for the op... i was on ga. then he cut my lower jaw bone. shifted it backwards using metal plates n screws. cut the upper jaw n moved it outwards. then tied my 2 jaws together.
15. huh?! then got scar not? *looks at the left n right side of my face for any evidence of stitching/scars*
eh. no. no scars. no stitching. all the cutting stuff was done internally. they cut it from inside.
16. what? how did they do that???
well im not too sure.. used sth to hold my mouth wide open? sth like that la.
17. huh?!?! the whole things sounds painful. did it hurt?
well.. thing is.. contrary to what many would think... it seriously didnt hurt. i guess its God's awesome healing. or u can believe its... the "large dosage" of medicine the doc gave me. (inverted commars coz.. well. i wasnt given alot of medicine / painkillers. plus.. i didnt even eat alot of it or actually needed it. so take ur pick. i believe its He must have took my pain away) anywayy... so yes it didnt hurt. juz very uncomfortable on the 1st day... plus couldnt sleep well.. which i guess caused the headaches i get in the morning.. but after taking 1st course of panadols n antibiotics of the day.. it didnt hurt.
18. ur jaw was tied up... u did a jaw op... so how did u eat?
well. i didnt eat. ahhaa.. 1st day after op in hospital was on drip. after that.. i survived on 2 full weeks of pure liquid diet - ensure. its this super concentrated "milk" supplement filled with ALOT of vitamins n nutrients as my meal subst. its super sweet n comes in 3 flavours. strawberry, choc n vanilla. once again.. contrary to what many believe.. choc tastes horrible. the worst. the ready made ones in the tin is erhhh. ew. vanilla was the nicest. but for the powder ones which u make by urself.. ive got strawberry.. n it tastes awesome! fabulous. i dun mind taking more of that. hahaha...
then i started eating porridge stuff after that gradually... small appetite 1st.. n sweet stuff become tasteless.. n the salty ones.. erm. super extremely salty to me at least. hahaha...
19. then did u lose alot of weight? or.. u looked like u lost weight.
YES! hahaa. (but i dunno bout now. hehex) i dunno how much i lost actually coz the weighing machines have been giving me weird weights. ahhahaha. but i definitely did coz my clothes seem kinda baggy. lol.
20. so r u happy with the result of the op?
yea. of coz. i mean... my parents paid for it. cant not rightt. hahaa.. but well. to me i m really happy for the results my Lord blessed me with. yup.
